I never use that phrase, precisely because, as
you've pointed out, its meaning is ambiguous.
The contact angle is the angle in which the liquid interface meets the solid surface. The contact angle should be as small as possible to have an effective penetrant material.
Contact angle is the angle that a drop of liquid makes as it meets the surface or interface of another phase, usually a solid
Angle of contact is the angle between a tangent to the liquid surface at the interface and the solid surface inside the liquid. For concave surfaces, it is acute . For convex surface , it is obtuse.
There are many ways to measure a contact angle, but the simplest way is to use a goniometer. The image of the droplet is taken with a high resolution camera; the angle can then be measured using a protractor.
It is a right angle
The angle of rotation of the balance in which the roller pin is in contact with the pallet forks.
It means Angle, Angle, Angle.
If by one angle you mean the interior angle that would be 108. If you mean the central angle thats 72.

An angle measures 90 degrees when it is a right angle
Does. a 90° angle have right angles
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
